Trader Joe's ginger beer: Last year, I attempted to purchase this drink only to find that the seasonal product was sold out. Seeing it on the shelves this time around, I was especially excited to try it. I'm picky about my ginger beers, and this one is good. Surprisingly robust, spicy ginger flavor for a mass market audience. Good amount of carbonation and citrus. Worth checking out. 4.0/5.0

I Mei sesame cream wafers: I was excited to find a black sesame flavored snack, but these wafers are unfortunately lacking. The wafer texture and flavor is not unlike a typical ice cream cone (styrofoam-like), and there is only a small amount of cream. The snack would benefit from more cream and sesame flavor and a little more sweetness (there is 4g sugar in one serving). 2.0/5.0

Trader Joe's sweet potato tortilla chips: A mix of white corn and sweet potato, the dominant flavor in this snack is definitely not sweet potato (although you get a hint of it at the end). The chip should be slightly thicker, and the flavor overall is just ok. Probably would be much better with a dip, but doesn't really hold its own. Nonetheless, it's a light snack that isn't overly seasoned. 3.0/5.0

Clover strawberry soda: Nicely carbonated water with a light yet flavorful strawberry syrup. Mix and drink with a straw to get the full effect. 3.5/5.0

Clover strawberries and cream: While these strawberries are likely very fresh, they aren't particularly good and lack sweetness. The dessert comes with dipping sugar, but the best fruit would never need this. Cream is poured over the top, but the strawberries don't quite absorb this flavor, and most ends up at the bottom of the container. 2.0/5.0
